Gunman, 3 hostages found dead at California veterans home - police spokesman
YOUNTVILLE, California - Three women and a gunman who held them hostage at a California veterans home were found dead late Friday, bringing a tragic end to an all-day siege at the sprawling facility for aging and disabled former members of the US military, police said.
A state senator earlier told reporters that the gunman was a member of the Pathway Home, a program for veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, and that the hostages were believed to be employees of the facility.
The Veterans Home of California-Yountville's website says it is the largest veterans' home in the United States, inhabited by around 1,000 "aged or disabled veterans."
